A React hook providing a convenient wrapper around the Web Animations API (WAAPI) for creating performant, manipulable web animations. It offers flexible playback control, ready-to-use animation presets, and TypeScript support.
Use cases
- animate react components with web animations api
- control animation playback in react
- add performant css-like animations to a react app
- use ready-made animation presets like bounce or pulse
- get animation lifecycle events in react hooks
When to choose
- you use React and want GPU-accelerated animations without heavy animation libraries
- you need programmatic playback control (play, pause, reverse, speed) of animations
- you want a tiny, TypeScript-friendly hook instead of a full animation framework
When to avoid
- you need complex timeline/scroll-driven choreography better served by GSAP or Framer Motion
- your project is not React-based
- you need SSR-safe animations in environments without WAAPI support
